Hello, the Sony xperia c5 is just a great phone to use. It has good properties i.e. 2gb of ram, 8 mp camera for both rear and face side with flash. Even though the mobile legs while multitasking, its good mobile. My friend recently bought ths sony xperia c5 at 25 thousand from the nearby store. Mobile looks sizzling in gold color. The size is just enormous, you will definitely enjoy gaming and movie experience. Thickness is also average. It will look great in your hands. Sony’s new Xperia C5 Ultra is a big screen smartphone that targets the selfie aficionados with its 13MP front camera and flash.
Sony has tried to make the phone less unwieldy by keeping the bezels narrower compared to its previous phablet offerings and balancing the thickness. The phone boasts of mid-range hardware and looks very similar to its premium offerings.
At Rs 29, 990, the phone faces tough competition from value-for-money phones like the OnePlus 2 and Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe. We try to find out if it’s worth a buy in our review.
Sony’s no stranger to big screen phones. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra was one of the most attractive albeit unwieldy 6-inch+ device from the company. However, with the Xperia C5 Ultra, it has been able to strike a balance between good looks and ergonomics. We have to say we were very impressed with the nearly bezel-free display.
The screen to body ratio is large so you never feel you’re holding an oversized smartphone in your hand. Unlike the Xperia Z Ultra, the phone is not super thin so the weight is well spread out making it easy to lug around the phone. Sony continues to stay loyal to the OmniBalance design philosophy but with soft, rounded edges and corners.
The front is largely dominated by the 6-inch screen flanked by a metal ring that surrounds the 13MP camera lens and flash at the top along with the sensor array and the Sony logo. There are also two grills at the top and bottom lip. The front panel is all glass and doesn’t get smudged easily.
The phone is held together by an aluminium frame with rounded edges and soft nylon bumpers at the corners that help the phone’s antenna to get the signal and also prevent dents if the phone experiences a fall. The volume rocker is located at the right edge with the typical Sony watch crown-shaped, metallic power button.
There’s also a camera shutter key towards the bottom at the same edge. The keys offer decent tactile feedback and are positioned comfortably keeping in consideration the length of the phone. The left edge houses a flap that hides two slots for nano-sim cards and one slot for a microSD card. The 3.5mm headset jack is at the top while the micro-USB port sits at the bottom.
The phone has a unibody design so you can’t remove the back panel.The back, made from plastic, is slightly curved and sports a soft touch finish. While it’s glossy, the material helps in hiding smudges. The 13MP rear camera and a flash are also at the back. The plastic used in the back looks and feels premium.
Without doubt, the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is a well built phone and one of the few devices with super-thin bezels.
